Happy 4th of July

We kept up our yearly 4th of July traditions - first we headed out to Downtown Arlington on the 3rd to the Light up Arlington festivities.  The girls had so much fun with the bounce houses, the mini train, and even got their faces painted.  Then we got to see the fantastic fireworks from the top of the church's garage.  Jillian had slightly warmed up to fireworks this year - she still isn't in love with them, but it was much better than year's past when we had to close her in the car with headphones blaring something to drown out the noise!

Then, we headed back bright and early to watch the parade!  

 Face Paint is slightly scary on Day 2, but the girls were happy! 

After the parade, there was time for eating and swimming at Gigi's.
 Little Piper is showing off her National Pride!

We ended the 4th with a trip to my parent's neighbor's dock to watch fireworks over the lake.  We got to see tons of different shows going on all over the metroplex!  The best part was that they were so far off, there wasn't any noise to scare Miss Jillian!
 Riding in Papa's truck to the lake is always a bonus!
Just in case the fireworks were loud, Jillian found a good spot!
